The TOMACOP project investigates the effects of copper deficiency on tomato plant growth and nutritional quality. It aims to understand the regulatory mechanisms of copper uptake to improve crop health and safety, addressing both agricultural productivity and human health concerns related to copper levels in food.
Copper (Cu) is a vital micronutrient acting as a double-edged sword in living beings because it is an essential redox-active cofactor in biological processes but is toxic when in excess.
In humans, Cu is acquired by diet and its deficiency or excess causes important diseases.
Plants are also sensitive to Cu bioavailability in soil and their nutritional deficiencies or excesses are transferred to consumers.
Therefore, deciphering the regulatory mechanisms underlying Cu uptake and distribution to…
